Cellared and Bottled by Our Cellars, Healdsburg, CA
This is a new item at my local Trader Joe's, and I got excited because I love red blends and happen to be a big Cabernet Franc fan. This wine is definitely impressive, those of you who do not like wines with lots of tannins beware. It has a nice bite to it.
Nose of: Currant, pine, plum, oak, cherry, and bourbon vanilla.
Flavors of: Spicy oak, cocoa, barbecued blackberry, dark chocolate and cranberry.
This wine has a peppery mid pallet with dry tannins that mellow into a finish of unsweetened cocoa, coffee and cranberries.
This is a great wine with many levels of flavors.
7 out of 10 stars
I just tried this wine, it's fantastic. Certainly worth $9.99!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love your bourbon vanilla and barbecued blackberry notes! What fun descriptions. I found this quite enjoyable as well, and I quoted you on it over on my blog today.
